-lowered the front of the rear arms 3" with 3 deg. positive pinion angle
The truck weight was 3065lbs without me in it. I had a 468cid, PG, NOS Big shot plate and the truck ran 5.90s @ 112 mph with 1.29 60'
I then sent the truck off to have ladder bars and coil overs installed. $2,500later it picked up 2 dimes. For what we are doing, all of the checking corner weight, preload on whatever side, instant center, and all of the other b.s. leave that to the prostock guys who are looking for every .001

Wow amazing, 5.9's wheels up...and you had stock springs and stock replacement shocks before the ladder/coil over mod? Can't wait to get under my truck and look at the 3" raise of the trailing arm mount, any advise on that change, or is it as straight forward as it sounds?
